http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxOalIK6fSI I started dancing at 2 years old & I was considered talented in my neighborhood. Yes, it WAS a small neighborhood!!! This little guy is only 18 months old & he's already doing the Samba. He's been on every local channel for the last few days. The question is...Is this for real or has it been doctored??? Watch & enjoy then tell me what you think!!!

First let me say the picture of you when younger is darling. What a cutie. I think the video is not doctored. This little guy has an amazing talent. He may have been able to make even better moves if the video was done on the floor. Looks to me like this little boy has it in his blood to dance and will go places in the future. Thanks for sharing this cute video. I took tap and ballet when younger. I did all those recitals and had fun. Still love to dance but have a husband who hates to dance so I do get a little rusty. Our three daughters are grown now but they are really good dancers. My mother was a professional dancer so maybe it runs in the family.

I totally forgot I took tap and ballet too. Think I was around 7 or 8 when I started the lessons. My mom was a professional dancer in the 1930's. This is where she met my dad since he was in show business also. I can even remember the name of the dance review she danced with located in Atlanta. I do still dance when my brother is around and we get the chance. An accident keep you from continuing to dance? Thanks for giving me the best response.

Me Tap Dancing at 3 Years Old... - I loved dancing even at a very early age!!!
THANK YOU!!! I loved tap & ballet. I lived for the recitals!!! We moved not long after I turned 7 & my Mom didn't drive so I stopped taking lessons. However, dancing was in my blood & I danced for years. I danced professionally in my 20s & early 30s. Then I had a job that didn't afford me the opportunity to continue. Then life took away my ability to dance. I still try it every so often, but I'm no longer as agile as I once was!!!

I think it's real, not doctored. There is a myLotter here whose son, at the age of 2, was doing a remarkable impersonation of Michael Jackson dancing. We absorb so much in our first five years of live. This little guy has obviously been around a lot of Samba dancers and has a desire to dance, which is very obvious in this video. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of him in the future. I hope he's encouraged (but not pushed) to continue dancing. He has a natural talent and he should continue working at it. I'd love to see him again in a few years. He could quite possibly win a lot of awards with that talent of his! Thanks so much for sharing it. It put a smile on my (extremely tired) face.

Every time I've seen this on TV they ask the question...Is it real??? It made me wonder if I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. I've seen homemade videos that appeared real until you watched them closely & you could detect the flaw. With this video, I couldn't see anything strange!!! I do hope this little fella is as talented as he appears!!! I believe we will most definitely be seeing him in the not too distant future!!!

That's good you have a talent in dancing.. well, i've wathced the video and it's really amazing. For me, i think this is real.The baby is gifted with such talent or maybe he was exposed at an early age to dancing. The baby must be credited for this talent.. But if it's fake, the culprit is very good in faking.

I agree...if it is doctored, they did an EXCELLENT job at it!!! I find it hard to believe that a child that young can dance that well; however, I've failed to see the editing!!! Growing up in a Samba culture, it is possible that he's going to be a VERY talented dancer!!!
